to represent the parts of the neck-tie which from beneath the collarb pIn attaching the neck-tie it is lfirst buttoned at the band to theshirt-buttomlaud then, by turning over the body ofthe device, the bandis repeatedly iblded around the middle of the neck-tie, which causes itto assume the appearance of the ordinary neeletie, as shownv in iig. ,3.

I am aware that it is not new to cover paper foundations vfor neck-tieswith a textile fabric, and'also that neck-ties have been made reversibleby patterns formed on both sides, and by covering both sides of the sameproject with fabrics, and that the parts forming a tie have beenattached together by a metal clasp, which also secure a band, whichfolds over to form the central band, and, being provided with a`button-hole, thc `means for attachment to the collar-button.

I Claim.
